Description:

This is Swap #1 in a set of four total swaps( the other three, Air, Earth and Fire to come at a later date).

The first Swap is the Element water, and for this swap you will be decorating your mailing envelope with the element Water. Any medium is acceptable as long as your doodles, drawings, stampings or cutouts and stickers have something to do with the element water, done in an artful way, of course.

For the second part of the swap you will create a creating card from scratch, using any art method you choose: stamping, coloring with pencils, cutouts, stickers, drawings, or a combination of any or all mediums, as long as they reflect the element Water in some way

Craft a card that would, if you received it, make you smile, say, "oh wow", or move you in some way. If it moves you it will probably move your partner.

The card is not profile specific, so you can start crafting now. Enclose a small "flat" gift for your partner, does not have to be anything expensive, and for that you need to look at your partner's profile. Ideas are: a book mark, a clear stamp, stickers, a blank creating card, little envie's or postcard (s). It is your choice.

Recap: (1) Element Water (2) Envelope decorated with Element Water (3) Handmade Card, decorated with Element Water (4) Small, flat, inexpensive gift for partner

Above all, create and have fun.

I may not have read this properly so my brain doesn't understand, but is this swap (basically) we hand make a card with a water theme and then decorate the envelope also in a water theme? Or have I got the wrong idea? :) x

That is it exactly @Lolli92imo Both the card (which is handmade) and the envelope will be decorated in anyway you choose, with a water theme or anything relating to water.

I might be missing something also. I count three items in the description: card, decorative envelope, and flat gift. What is the fourth item?

Magickspirit51 04/19/2012 #

No, not four items, a four part swap. First swap is the Element Water, the second swap will be Air, the third swap will be Earth, with Fire being the fourth swap. Sorry, I never seem to get my description right. I will fix it. Thank you, @BigHillGoddess for bringing the confusion to my attention.

Thanks, I read things very literally, so the confusion might have been on my part. :)

Can the flat item be handmade?

Magickspirit51 04/25/2012 #

Yes @tengu2 the flat item can be made.

I loved made items, so anything made is always preferable to me.
